I will admit that many of us under-talented people who remain on the Boeing do indeed envy the novelty which appears to be the main feature of A380 operations. I and all my colleagues routinely land at the airport we departed for and most of us seem to be able to find our way to and from the runway at most airports. After landing at our intended destination airport, our airplane let's us apply the brakes as and when we see fit without deciding of it's own volition that it knows better than we do.
There is a lot of lost excitement there to be sure.
